By thin layer chromatography of a lipid extract of a strain of Flavobacterium meningosepticum a serine-containing lipid was isolated. This lipid, for which the name flavolipin was proposed, contained 1 mole of ester-linked fatty acid (removed by mild saponification) and 1 mole of amide-linked fatty acid (requiring acid hydrolysis to make it free) for one mole of serine. These results and the information obtained from I.R. and mass spectra led the authors to propose structure (8) for flavolipin (75). No information was provided concerning the configuration of the serine molecule.
